Blitz was no ordinary horse. He had within him a quality of greatness which gave him the power to give his best--and more--whenever it was needed.
Carefully trained and well cared for, he soon became the most talked about fire horse in Drumlin: fast and sure and first at almost every fire.
Then a fearful accident injured both Blitz and his driver, and Blitz was sold to a cruel master and needed all of his courage and strength to live through the next few years.
The story of how he is saved by the love and care of a boy, and of how he in turn is able to save a child's life, makes a dramatic and moving book in the old tradition. There are happy times and sad times, and a warmth in the telling that will satisfy anyone who loves a good horse story.
